Option 1 : They have long legs

The correct answer is They have long legs.

Concept:

  • The biological mechanism by which organisms adjust to new environments or changes in their current environment is known as adaptation.
  • Deserts are the driest places on earth and sometimes go for months, or even years, without rain. 

Explanation:

Camels have several adaptations that help them to survive in the deserts.

The following adaptations are found in camels:

  • Its hooves are covered by a large sole that allows it to move through the hot, slick sand.
  • Camels have long legs to keep the body away from heat of sand.
  • It excretes very little water from its body through dry dung.
  • The humps help the camels to survive in the desert, by acting as storage containers which are filled with fat. This food is used when the camel does not have anything to eat.
  • Water is distributed evenly throughout its body rather than in a specific pocket or organ.
  • They have a thick hair coat that protects them from the sun.
